Poems – Alta's World

back to the city, a poem

”how can I return to the hotel room where I cried, realizing what I have done to myself?”

“Aftersun”, a reflection (and a short poem)

Aftersun by the brilliant Charlotte Wells is a splendid yet very painful movie to watch, especially if you’ve been dealing with depression yourself. A lesson in storytelling, with characters which, to me, were very evocative of Murakami’s.

Love Confession on Valentine’s Day

on lovers’ day i celebrated
a love so grand, so pure, so luminous, one that i’ve never given to myself before.

Standing still, a poem

here’s to another season of sailing cold waters, looking for that island of sun and gold.

testament, a confession

but sometimes i am light that’s been cast on a wall by a sole mistake of the universe.

let go, a prayer

let go of old loves , of friends who no longer ask ‘how are you’, of enemies you made up in you head

poem to the one i miss the most

i can feel all that rage i used to have
all that darkness, all that emptiness turning into something that, in time, might become as bright as the light itself.

A functional fraud

The functional fraud suit is so heavy that one day I’m gonna crush under its weight. ‘Keep holding on’, I keep telling to myself.

Anotimpuri în unu. Amintiri (II)

Doar eu te mai caut în anotimpul oglindă acum.

Anotimpuri în unu. Prima toamnă (I)

Ce iarnă va fi aia fără tine?!
